| See, I'd rather see multiple, smaller evil groups, as opposed to just a few larger evil groups. The continual focus on the big groups makes it seem like there is no evil in the Realms unless Thay, Shade, or drow are involved. It's like there's a drow under every rock and a Shade behind every tree. What happened to featuring other, lesser evils, like the fey'ri, the Twisted Rune, or the Kraken Society? |

That could work just as well. And, to be honest, that's largely what I was thinking for the smaller groups that have yet to receive any real attention in the current 4e lore. |

Totally! Larloch is actually one of the main antagonists in my current FR game. He's decided to fill Mystra's spot as the new god of magic in the Realms.
I don't want him to become a god. That's a sure way to get less and less novel time in the future. Besides, it's unlikely it'll happen---from what I've heard, Ed's latest novels revealed that The Simbul is the new Goddess of Magic.
Pretty sure Ed's latest novels never revealed that at all. Unless I completely missed some subtle hints. But you never read his latest and only care about Larloch anyways ;). But on that topic, his latest book did seem to imply that Larloch would be making some sort of appearance in future novels. |

| I like the Big Bad (I'm a drow fan after all, though I don't want all of them to be bad), but I also wouldn't mind seeing the organization of "smaller evils". I don't see why we couldn't have different series devoted to each of them. |

Frankly Cyric is trapped in his "Supreme throne" so he is hardly going to be rampaging across the realms anytime soon and good riddance.
The big bad I want to see going down is Shar , revenge for Mask and other less cool gods. |

Impossible Wish List:
Reinvest in titles such as Dark Sun, Ravenloft and Gamma World.
You would think WotC would capitalize on the horror phenom with a revamp of Ravenloft. Dark Sun petered out this year and Gamma World only had a two book run. Gamma World was my favorite new series last year. A world where anything can happen and it falls flat?

Both DARK SUN and RAVENLOFT still routinely have support material presented in the DDI, though it's usually really nothing beyond the monthly "Eye on ... " articles and the odd adventure or two. |

* The Raven Queen replacing Kelemvor in FR.
* More Pact of the new Moon.
* Leira back with vengence...or just gloating smugness of how she was never really dead.
* My Computer completing this CHKDSK faster and saying nothing is wrong with the hardrive.
* More FR novels in general. |
